Silt is the debut album by Mistle Thrush, a Boston, Massachusetts-based band. It was released in 1995 on CD by Bedazzled (catalog #BDZ26). The previous year, the band released a five-song EP titled Agus Amàrach. The band didn't release another full-length album until 1997's Super Refraction. Silt saw original guitarist Brad Rigney (departed to Big Monster Fish Hook) replaced by former teenage hardcore semi-star, Matthew Kattman (ex-Funny Wagon/Kingpin).
